Union workers at the Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. factory in Findlay have filed an unfair labor practice charge against the company over a recent lockout, the Associated Press reports.

The 1,000 locked-out members of the United Steelworkers allege the company asked them to approve a contract without information about wages, AP reports. The union rejected the contract Nov. 27 and members were prevented from entering the plant the next day.

Cooper (NYSE:CTB) has been employing temporary employees to keep up production during the dispute, the newspaper reports.
